Antonio, I am posting this here to ask you what you know about this insurance company and these types of plans? So, often there are loopholes that these companies use to get out of paying. I know that one accident report form had questions such as: "Were you skiing within your ability?; Had you taken this run before, if so how many times? Have you injured yourself in this mannor before and where? Have you taken a lesson? How many years have you been skiing, from what age?" Questions all about your equipment, serial numbers, etc. all to avoid litigation and find ways to not have to reimburse the poor sap.
See below Tony, copied email from NSP. I am sure the company does not limit its business to NSP members only.

Individual and family packages tailor-made for ski patrollers are immediately available. Members can purchase the insurance on a month-to-month basis as either primary coverage or to supplement existing coverage.
Three different packages have been created for NSP members. Each is underwritten by a large company that's been rated "A" (excellent) by AM Best. For rate and benefit information, or to enroll on-line, visit http://www.adventureadvocates.com/nsp. BENEFITS START THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH FOLLOWING ENROLLMENT (i.e., coverage will begin Dec. 1 if members enroll by Nov. 30. Coverage will begin Jan. 1 if members enroll Dec. 1-31, and so on).
In addition to medical coverage, members receive discounts on travel- and healthcare-related services and products, including savings on hotels, fitness clubs and vitamins.
